Harvey (1950)
Directed by Henry
Koster this film based on the play of the same name stars James
Stewart, Josephine Hull, Peggy Dow and Charles Drake. A woman tries
to have her middle aged brother committed because she has had enough
of his best friend, an imaginary six foot tall rabbit.
There is a lot to like
about this light hearted film and it mainly relies on the charm of
James Stewart as while it is funny in places you would not call this
an out and out comedy. The events of the film are farcical but never
really offer an explanation for the existence of Harvey one way or
the other. About the biggest surprise here is that this is not a
collaboration between Stewart and Frank Capra as it would fit in
easily with their previous collaborations.
4/5
